[Carters Mom]

I usually leave for hurricanes if it appears they are going to hit us. Being a licensed insurance agent (a profession I choose not to have anymore because of working hurricane claims), I've seen firsthand the devastation that can be caused by the storm surge. Most people have no clue what type of devastation will happen to our community if we take a direct hit.

With the wedding coming up next week, the timing of the next storm will be very critical! If this is a strong storm coming up the pike, I will want to leave but know I'll have to wait until the last moment.

I pray for my stepson and his fiance's sake that the storm doesn't hit here in the time frame of the wedding. I'll take our lumps if it is our time, I just hope it doesn't interefere with the wedding and the year it took to plan it all out!

As for Cindy, we've been having squally weather here all morning. yuck!
